    The Moon would take off in a straight line, at a constant speed, with the

    same speed and direction it had at the instant that gravity got switched off.

    (Of course, if ALL gravity got switched off, then the Moon would fall apart.

    The radioactive and volcanic heat activity in its core would continue, and

    suddenly there wouldn't be anything to hold it together. Same for the Earth.)
